30. Homo sapiens
What is the first word?
Second word?
genus, species
The first word is “homo.” That means “man.” The second word is “sapien.” This means “be wise.” The whole thing “homo sapien” the species which humans belong to. Homo is the “genus” and sapien is the “species.”
31. Are these kingdoms or phyla?
Plantae, Monera, Fungi, Animalia? Kingdom
Arthropoda, Nematoda, Cnidria, Platyhelminthes? Phylum
“Plante” is a kingdom, “Monera” is a kingdom, “Fungi” is a kingdom, and “Animalia” is a kingdom. “Antrhopoda” is a phyla, “Nematoda” is a phyla, “Cnidria” is a phyla, and “Platyhelminthes” is a phyla.

analogous organs
Vestigial organs are organs that have no current adaptive value in an organism. The appendix and the tailbone are examples of this. Homologous organs are body parts of different species that are structural equivalents, like the forearms of humans and the forelegs of dogs and cats. Analogous organs are organs that perform the same function and are structurally the same. For example, birds and butterflies both have wings that help them fly.
33. If you are in the same phylum, are you in the same kingdom? Same genus? Same species?
If two organisms are in the same kingdom, they will be in the same phylum because they share a common trait. They will be in the same genus. They do not have to necessarily be in the same species because that gets too specific.
34. Viruses must reproduce inside
To reproduce and thrive, a virus must have a host. This is a living organism. Viruses must reproduce in a host cell.
35. Define and give an example:
retrovirus
lytic virus
lysogenic virus
provirus
retrovirus- Gag gene
lytic virus- Flu
lysogenic virus- Aids
provirus- DNA of Virus becomes part of the host DNA

A retrovirus is any group of RNA viruses that insert on a DNA copy of their genome into the host cell in order to replicate. An example would be HIV. A lytic virus is any various simple sub microscopic parasites of plants, animals, or bacteria that will cause a disease which can consist of a RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. HIV is an example. A lysogenic virus is a virus that can insert it’s DNA into the genome of the host bacterium for long-term dormancy, and an example is HIV because they sit and wait. A provirus is the precursor or latent form of a virus that is capable of being integrated into the genetic material of a host cell and being replicated with it. An example would be herpes.
36. Name the 2 parts of every virus
The protien coating on the outside and the gentetic information on the inside.
37. What do the following do and who do they work on?

54. If the FBI needed your DNA, how could they obtain it?
Acquire a piece of your hair, a drop of your blood, or a flake of your dandruff.
55. If a disease is sex-linked explain who gets it more often and why?
Males get it more often because females have sets of X chromosomes (XX) and one of the X chromosomes can hide the other. Males (XY) have a higher chance because they don't have that second X to help hide the disease.
56. Why does DNA replicate?
DNA replicates because it is needed to repair and create cells.
57. Describe karyotype and why it would be used.
Karyotyping is when the chromosomes of a cell, displayed as a systemized arrangement of chromosomes pairs in descending order of size. It can be used to determine the sex of the baby
58. Define: mitosis, meiosis, fertilization, zygote, sexual reproduction, asexual reprodution
Mitosis- cell division that results in two daughter cells (an exact copy)
Meiosis-cell division that results in two daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes (reproduction)
Fertilization- the process of fertilizing an egg
Zygote- fertilized egg
Sexual reproduction- the production of new living organisms with two different sexes of the parents
Asexual reproduction- the production of new living organisms with only one parent
59. Define dominant gene, recessive gene, give letters.
Dominant Gene- shows up in the physical traits
Recessive Gene- does not show up
Give letters- Rr TT
60. What is a double helix?
The double helix is the shape of DNA
61. Define biodiversity.
Different species with a lot of variety.
62. Why is biodiversity so important?
All different species eat different things which results in less competition for survival.
Biodiversity is important because it can make an ecosystem more productive and each species has a special role because each species is different. Ecosystems with more variety can recover from disasters better.
63. Why are there so many species of trees, birds or insects?
There are so many different species of trees, birds, or insects because of pollination, breeding, and climate.
64. If we build home, malls, parking lots, what happens to biodiversity?
reduce the biodiversity by destroying homes of all types of animals and organisms


If we build homes, malls, parking lots, animals have less of a chance reproducing successfully with human interference. They will have less of a home and unfortunately, some of them will die.
